First Panerai Rep

[hackintosh]

I would like to buy my first rep, and so far the only thing that falls within my price range, and looks nice. Are the following models any good?:

http://www.timeshops.net/product.php?id_product=6567
http://www.timeshops.net/product.php?id_product=1500

What I mean by good is if it is an accurate (well, you know, accurate enough) replica and if I will be able to wear it out without any concern. Also can I ask for QC?

PS Is this website the best option to buy, or would you recommend doing it directly here.

Thanks,

Hack

The PAM experts may know exactly, but I don't believe there is a gen 40mm PVD model. PVD in 44mm (or 45 or 47) or stainless in 40mm would be your more accurate choice if you want the smaller watch head.

Your second choice is a fantasy as well, I believe, with a dial marked as Radiomir Blackseal, and in a 44mm Luminor style case.

The good thing about Panerai is that 99.99% of the public has never seen nor heard of the brand. So if you like either of those, you may as well buy one.

Just my $0.02 USD.

Getat out of HK makes pretty good Pan reps. May want to check out his website. I recently ordered my first one and had it express shipped/delivered at $135US. It took 1 month from the time I ordered till it was delivered. Just google Getat Watch for his website.

+1 for getat! takes quite a while before you get it but the watch head in itself is great! expect to buy a new strap tho...
